All the features letter and the gun is in great shape. I hope to be shooting deer or antelope this fall with it.

It wasn’t cheap, I am embarrassed to say how much I have in it… I've been there! Oh, well, glad you've got it now. Maybe I can help you.... I paid 1800 including the juice for a Win 1873 in 32-30 that had non original finish, wrong mag tube, wrong butt plate, wrong wood, and a broken link. :-) I bought early by about three or four decades ;-)
